How do I create a parent (i.e. "main") user account?

As part of the new USA Swimming Memberships, parents need to create their own 'Parent Account'. A 'Parent Account' is required BEFORE you attempt to register your children. It does not matter whether you are an Athlete or an Official, or neither of those, you MUST still have your 'Parent Account' before you can register your children. Children under the age of 16 are not able to register for their own account. The 'Parent Account' exists so that the parent can manage their children's information, registrations, and renewals. You will not use the club registration link for this account. You will need to go to hub.usaswimming.org. Here you will see a 'Login' screen: 

Once you click on the 'Create A Login' button where you will then be taken to the 'Create A Login' screen: 

Here you will need to fill in your personal email address and click the 'Continue' button. Once you click the 'Continue' button, you will be sent a verification code via email. The email will look like the picture below. Please check your spam/junk folder if you do not see the email in your inbox. 

On the USA Swimming site you will be taken to the following 'Verification' screen: 

This is where you will enter the verification code that you received in your email. Once you click the 'Continue' button you will be taken to the next step of creating your new username and password, as well confirming your password: 

Once you click on the 'Save' button you will then be taken back to the 'Login' screen where you will enter your new username and password and click the 'Login' button:


Once you click on the 'Login' button, you will then be take to the 'Finalize Login' screen: 

Here you will see the question 'Have you ever had a USA Swimming Membership?' and if you, personally, have never had an account, you will need to click that toggle button to 'No'. Please do not request your child's Member ID, you are not creating an account for your swimmer here. You will then fill in the required information and click the 'Submit' button. Once you click the 'Submit' button, you will then be taken to the 'Legal Acknowledgements' screen:

You will need to click 'Yes' on all of the toggle buttons in order to continue. Once you have clicked 'Yes' on all of the toggle buttons you will be able to click the 'Continue' button. After you click the 'Continue' button you will be taken to the 'Parent Dashboard' screen: 


From this page, you will navigate to your club's registration link to register your family members. If you do not have your club's registration link, please request this from your club directly. Getting your swimmers registered will automatically add them to the My Family section of your dashboard.
